The Ruth S. Shur Fellows national coaching team currently work with 32 states and the District of Columbia, participating in the succesful membership and leadership development program (based on the successful Membership Recruitment Initiative). The Fellows mentor and develop relationships with state coaching teams who, in turn, coach local Leagues in best practices to recruit new members, gain visibility in the community, and develop new leaders. By 2012, LWVUS, with help from this National Coaching Team, plans to support local Leagues in all 50 states in the areas of membership recruitment and leadership development.
